i live in the southeast sector of the city. my impression is that we are not in a convenience zone, because there is no supermarket, excluding a 7-eleven that meets the criteria of the revenue mark. so i think it might have been answered, but i'm not clear. all of those small businesses, all of those conveniences stores, do they have to pay the $100 or they are not in a convenience zone? >> actually the southeast sector and the whole eastside of the city is served by scrapyards and existing metal recyclers. >> okay. >> so they can establish a zone there and that creates nearby what is called "nearby convenience." that kind of exempts the supermarkets. >> okay. >> so you are okay there. say you have got this kind of odd schizophrenia with lots of things over on 3rd street, nothing over on the west side and the north side. but that is why you are okay there in terms of providing recycling. >> okay. >> and commissioners, just for your reference in the back of your binder is a google map of all the recycling centers in the city. th

they are part of the city. and whether -- when you operate a center you have to have a good-neighbor policy. it depends on what neighborhood you are in and what the accommodations need to be, but you have to have a good-neighbor policy. so i attended the committee meeting last week. and there was talk of maybe going forward at a requirement when new projects are entitled and new supermarkets that they build in a requirement for new recycling centers. that would be a great future requirement for the city to have. and some of the other stuff that we talked about incentivizing mobile and taking advantage of the bottle bill coming up would be another one. the last thing i would say, i know it's kind of late for hank, but urging all landlords, all supermarkets, parks and recreation to keep all the existing recycling centers that we have so we don't create the crisis for the small businesss in the city, until we have another system up and running, seems to be would be the most prudent policy here. this isn't a hypoth

the city went ahead and started the work anyway. that's another clue about the city. this is very complex and very important legislation, and i certainly hope that you will turn it down. it's hard to understand it. the main thing that i have gathered is that it's speeding up the appeal process so that you have to be smart enough to figure out when the first permit was issued and get your appeal in in 10 days. i think that's asking an awful lot of stakeholders. in fact, the whole legislation would appear to be taking the stakeholders out of this process. i really hope that you will help us and not let this go through, at least not on -- with a two-week delay. there were two weeks planned by supervisor wiener for this to be studied and approved and he gave us a two-week extension. but that is really not enough. this is a state law that you're being asked to amend. it was put there for very good reason. thank you. >>> good afternoon, commissioners. tim colin on behalf of the housing action coalition. i think the problems with c-e-q-a were among the reasons the hac was fo
